It’s that time of year again when Amazon tries to put us all in debt, or more commonly known as Amazon Prime Day. It’s not actually a day, either, as the deals run from 8-11 July, plus there were a few “early” deals before that, too.
- Whyte returns to gravel market
- Tom Pidcock to race the Gravel Worlds
- Race Face brings the Era mantra to trail and cross-country
But we digress. Amazon isn’t always the best place to find mountain bike or gravel stuff, but we’ve found some hidden gems and done the digging, scrolling, and searching through the deals so you don’t have to.
Here’s what we’ve found so far…
Save 28% on Garmin fēnix 7 PRO smart watch – £468.49

Not one for a cycling computer? This smart watch from Garmin is a great alternative to a big screen mounted to your bars or top tube. The fēnix range is one of the more premium multi-sport watches from Garmin, and although the 7 isn’t the most recent release, it’s still a very good watch.
There are two sizes to choose from, with the screen size different depending on the option chosen. It’s not a mountain bike or off-road riding specific bit of kit, but it keeps track of distance, speed, HR, power, and has maps so you can follow a route or even use them to find trails.

15% off Park Tool PCS-10.3 Deluxe Home Mechanic Repair Stand – £169.39

Keen to work on your bike when you’re at home? The Park Tool PCS repair stand is hard to beat in terms of quality when it comes to freestanding bike workstations.
Easy to use and able to clamp tubes with diameters between 22 mm–76 mm, it’ll work with most bikes. It’s height adjustable, too, and the heavy-duty legs keep the stand stable while you work on your bike.
It can hold up to 36kg of weight, so if you have an e-bike, you’ll still be able to work on it with this stand. At £161.39, it’s still an investment, but a worthwhile one if you want a reliable stand for home mechanic work.

Sure, you can use washing-up liquid to keep your bike’s drivetrain clean, but you probably shouldn’t. This Muc-Off drivetrain cleaner is specially formulated to cut through dirt and chain oil, and it can be used on all kinds of bikes – no, you don’t need a special sauce to clean your e-bike with.

Can’t be bothered with the old hand pump? Nah, us neither – electric pumps are the way forward in our eyes. And this Tiny bike pump from Cycplus is now 15% off.
It works with both Presta and Schrader valves and can inflate to a maximum of 120PSI (not that we off-road riders would ever need that much). It can inflate two 25c road tyres per charge and only takes 30 minutes to recharge.

Save 28% on Muc-Off Dry Lube 120ml – just £6.84

Maybe not the most glamorous of products to splash the cash on, but it’s a necessity if you want to keep your bike running well this summer. And dare we say it, while it’s sunny, dry lube might even be the way to go.
Unless you’re in the northeast, in which case, stick to your ceramic, wax, wet lube, and never underestimate the ability for the ‘summer’ to turn into another winter.

Save 25% on a Wahoo TICKR FIT HRM – down to £48.44
If you’re someone who likes to train with a structure and relies on heart rate as a measurement tool, the Wahoo TICKR FIT is a great alternative to the traditional chest strap HRMs.
It’s an armband so it fits around your arm rather than your chest, and offers Bluetooth and ANT+ connectivity so it can talk to your cycling devices and relay the data.

55% off HIGH5 Energy Gels – £12.05
If you’re into long days in the saddle, you’ll likely be downing the gels for much-needed energy boosts on the regular. However, they’re certainly not the cheapest of things. But, Amazon has your back as you can pick up a 20-pack for less than half price. That works out to be about £1.51 per gel.
It’s not just the berry flavour either, as a choice of nine are up for sale, including a mixed pack.
21% off DJI’a Mini 4k Camera Drone Combo – £259
Alright, so this one might be a bit far-fetched, but we all love filming our rides in some way, right? And drone footage is pretty special in its own right. Additionally, if you’re a budding bike videographer, a decent drone will end up paying for itself.
DJI’s Mini 4K Drone Combo gets you everything you need to start filming from the skies. It shoots 4k footage with three-axis gimbal stabilisation, so it’ll be mighty smooth. You can even film your mates from up to 10km away. The pack gets you two batteries, the drone itself and the controller.
Up for filming some bikes from the sky? Here’s the deal

43% off Jackery Solar Generator 500 – £373.15
Staycation-type riding holidays are great. But if you plan to stay in a camper van or a tent, and you ride an e-mountain bike, you’ll be stuck for charging. Believe it or not, you can charge your e-bike’s battery from a portable charging station like this Jackery, so you’ll be able to pack a few days of riding while camping.
Better still, you can charge your power station using the sun, as this kit comes sorted with a solar panel.
Keep your kit charged for £373.15
28% off GoPro Hero13 Black Action Bundle – £309
GoPro is the pioneer of the modern-day action camera, and the Hero13 is the very latest model. This Action pack gets you two extra Enduro batteries that last a lot longer than the regular alternatives, and you get a neat external recording button that you can mount to your handlebar for easy recording.
This little bit of kit shoots 5.3k footage and comes with a Macro Lens Mode, so you can shoot small things up close. Of course, it’s waterproof too, up to 10m in depth.
